Description

Three-dimensional ordered porous sulfur-carrying material for positive pole piece of lithium-sulfur battery and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of electrochemical energy storage, in particular to a three-dimensional ordered porous sulfur-carrying material for a positive pole piece of a lithium-sulfur battery, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
In recent years, with the rapid development and popularization of various electronic products and electric vehicles, the demand of batteries with high energy density is more and more urgent. However, conventional lithium ion batteries that implement electrochemical energy storage based on a lithium ion intercalation and deintercalation process have approached their energy density limit. In order to develop a new next-generation battery with small volume, light weight and large capacity, new electrode materials and new electrochemical energy storage systems must be developed.
The lithium-sulfur battery takes the metal lithium sheet as the negative electrode and the elemental sulfur as the positive electrode, and the theoretical energy density of the lithium-sulfur battery can reach 2600Wh/kg, which is about 6 times of the energy density which can be reached by the existing lithium ion battery technology. In addition, the sulfur has the advantages of large reserves, low price, no toxicity and no pollution. Therefore, lithium sulfur batteries are considered as one of the most promising candidates for next-generation high energy density batteries.
However, there are still many problems in the practical application of lithium-sulfur batteries: first, the low conductivity of sulfur makes it difficult for electrons to conduct to the sulfur to participate in the electrochemical reaction discharge. Secondly, during the discharge process, polysulfide intermediates with high solubility are generated, and the polysulfide with high solubility can be dissolved in the electrolyte and diffused to the negative electrode to directly react with the negative electrode metal lithium sheet, and the process is called shuttle effect. The shuttle effect causes a rapid capacity fade of the battery, so that the cycle stability of the lithium sulfur battery is very poor. During the discharge of a lithium-sulfur battery, the active substance sulfur undergoes a solid-state transition to a liquid polysulfide and is finally deposited on the surface of the conductive material in the form of solid lithium sulfide. This complex phase transition process can slow the kinetics of the overall electrochemical reaction, rendering the overall lithium sulfur cell incapable of operating at high currents and also leading to a reduction in sulfur utilization.
Therefore, how to efficiently solve the above problems is a key technology for truly realizing commercial application of lithium sulfur batteries.

The conductive agent can be Ketjen black or acetylene black, and the adhesive can be polyvinylidene fluoride, polyacrylic acid, polyvinyl alcohol, polytetrafluoroethylene or sodium carboxymethylcellulose.
(3) The preparation method of the positive pole piece of the lithium-sulfur battery comprises the following steps:
and (3) uniformly coating the positive electrode slurry obtained in the step (2) on a current collector, and heating and evaporating the solvent at 80 ℃. And then punching and shearing the positive pole piece by using a metal punch according to the size and shape requirements. And (3) drying the obtained positive pole piece in a vacuum drying oven at 60 ℃ for 12 hours to obtain the positive pole piece of the lithium-sulfur battery. Wherein, the current collector can be selected from one of aluminum foil, carbon paper, carbon cloth, foamed nickel, graphite felt, foamed carbon or electrostatic spinning carbon fiber.
The properties of the positive electrode sheet prepared from the carbon-sulfur composite of this example will be characterized as follows:
and punching and shearing the positive pole piece into a pole piece with the diameter of 12mm, assembling the pole piece into a CR2016 button cell by taking a lithium metal piece with the thickness of 0.6mm as a negative pole in a glove box under the protection of argon, and carrying out constant-current charge-discharge test at room temperature at 0.2C. The test result is shown in fig. 5, and it can be seen from the figure that the positive electrode plate of the lithium-sulfur battery prepared by mixing the sublimed sulfur and the conductive agent operates at a current of 0.2C, and the specific capacity of the positive electrode is only 1005mAh/g, which is far lower than the specific capacity of the positive electrode of the lithium-sulfur battery prepared from the three-dimensional ordered porous sulfur-carrying material and the sublimed sulfur. Meanwhile, the cycle performance of the lithium-sulfur battery anode prepared by using the conductive agent and the sublimed sulfur under the current of 1C is shown in FIG. 6, and it can be seen that the cycle stability of the lithium-sulfur battery anode prepared by using the three-dimensional ordered porous sulfur-carrying material and the sublimed sulfur is far better than that of the lithium-sulfur battery anode prepared by directly mixing the conductive agent and the sublimed sulfur. Compared with the prior art, the three-dimensional ordered porous sulfur-carrying material is proved to be capable of improving the utilization efficiency of the anode of the lithium sulfur battery to active substance sulfur, effectively inhibiting the shuttle effect of polysulfide ions and greatly prolonging the cycle life of the whole battery.
The embodiment result shows that the three-dimensional ordered porous sulfur-carrying material can ensure that the positive pole piece of the lithium-sulfur battery stably operates under high sulfur content (80 wt%) and high current (5.0C), thereby effectively promoting the possibility of large-scale commercial application of the lithium-sulfur battery and laying a solid foundation for realizing the application of the next generation of high energy density battery to mobile electronic equipment and electric automobiles.
